Our commitment to the principle of transparency leads us to design this AI Use Disclosure in fairness and integrity.
The Philippine Pundit maintains the highest standards of public service, journalistic integrity, and truth-telling. In keeping with transparency, we share that some aspects of our editorial process sometimes include using artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools such as ChatGPT by OpenAI, Grammarly, Quillbot, and other writing assistance.
How AI Is Used
We employ AI as a research and editorial assistance tool, but not a substitute for critical thinking, authorship, or human judgment. Particularly, AI can be utilized to:
- Supplement research in the background on features and articles.
- Help, as supplementary purposes only, with fact-checking and the retrieval of data.
- Create initial summaries or outlines to streamline content creation.
- Provide headline suggestions and keyword proposals for SEO optimization purposes.
- Improve grammar, structure, and clarity in the editing process.
What AI Does Not Do
AI does not publish or write our articles independently. Rather, the Founder and Editor of The Philippine Pundit, Regel Javines, has full discretion over the writing, revising, copyediting, fact-checking, and tone of every single published article, otherwise clearly stated in the article published.
All pieces are strictly human-checked to provide accuracy, journalistic balance, philosophical nuance, and local sensitivity. Moreover, the stance and opinions expressed are solely reflective of the writer’s view or the author’s perspective and do not necessarily reflect the company or any organizations with which the writer or the author is affiliated.
Furthermore, AI support is utilized as a tool, such as an electronic notepad, thesaurus, and search engine, and not as a self-sufficient co-author.
Our Editorial Integrity
We strongly believe that genuine storytelling, particularly in the case of Philippine journalism and citizen activism, should be guided by conscience, lived reality, critical thinking, and moral reflection. These are the human capacities no computer can match, so far.
Our editorial opinion is grounded in our Founder’s dedication to independent thought, utilitarian spirituality, and the search for social justice. All expressed views are those of the human author(s), not the computer.
Commitment to Responsible Innovation
As digital technology continues to change, The Philippine Pundit will continue to employ responsible AI technologies to enhance efficiency and accuracy, but never compromising on truth, editorial autonomy, or public trust.
